This debut novel is truly great! I love the fast-paced page-turning action in this quite epic but gritty space story. Great and quite fun characters and a environment and backdrop you almost can touch and feel. I just can't wait for the sequel!

I've always been interested in the stories of where man came from. Is there a god (or gods)? This book gives us a glimpse into what might have been, will be or could be. It held my interest through the entire book. I had to stop myself from reading all through the night, like I did when I was a kid!

I was hooked from the first page. Fantasy is usually. my first choice,but the description of the book caught my attention,and once I began reading I quickly realized I'd found another favorite author to add to my list. Lots of action,lots of humor,and main characters that you would love to hang out with (if you could while no one was trying to kill you). Awesome read !!!

The protagonist isn't who he thinks he is and continues to develop throughout the book. He is changed by the people who surround him. The action pulled the reader and the protagonist forward. The twists are philosophical and keep the reader guessing. I wonder what the next steps will be and who he will have to fight....
★★★★★Random Guy on The Internet
Fast-paced and filled with action. Not my usual genre of fiction but I got to say I'm extremely impressed with Dahlgren's writing and looking forward for a sequel.
★★★★★Random Guy on The Internet
I loved this book, set on the rebel planet of Elysium, where it seems nothing and nobody is quite what they appear to be. Asher Perez is what we may describe as the hero of this futuristic tale though even he may not be all we believe him to be. The story is brilliantly told in a way that leaves the reader constantly guessing who is on the side of good as opposed to evil. If you can't trust an archbishop, just who can you trust? There's plenty of action and the world created by the author is well described and perfectly believable. I will certainly be reading more of Mr Dahlgren's work. I wholeheartedly recommend Under a Dark Sky, and easily give it 5 stars.
★★★★★Random Guy on The Internet
Hardboiled sci-fi with lots of action and wry humor, enjoyable in the same vein as Altered Carbon by Richard K Morgan.
★★★★☆Random Guy on The Internet
Fast-paced, exciting and full of twists! This dystopian sci-fi captured me from page one. With it's gritty tone, dark sense of humor and colorful gallery of characters it's really got it all. The characters are excellentally narrated and hard not to hate or love. The dialogue between the characters is absolutely brilliant and really funny at times. The story is both original and fast-paced, making it really hard to put down. This book is a true gem! Highly recommended! Pick up a copy today!
